Men In The Middle
The White Sox hoped to have a fearsome 3-4-5 middle of the order this year and so far, Thome, Konerko, and Dye are all that and more. Last night, they combined for three homers, six hits, and seven RBIs.
Thome's roll just happened in the last ten days of spring training when he just found his swing and it hasn't left him since. It's very difficult to swing the bat as consistently as he has since that time without going through a cold spell, but Jimmy is riding the wave and enjoying it.
The heart of our lineup features not only three very good hitters, but they are professional hitters. They take their jobs very seriously and never give up an at-bat. So far, their performance has been everything you can hope for.

Amen to that DJ. Jet's hope they stay hot and cover each other's backs when the hit a dry spell.
